The Boots Of EngiiSh Girls.

am glad to find that I have warm
supporters in my crusade against the Eng
lish fashion Of wearing ugly boots. A
lady writes to me II cannot say how
rejoiced l am that you are making an
other effort to improve the chaussure Of
the English girl. The thick soled, low
heeled, badly fitting masses of wrinkled
too-bigness are ever with US a baneful
horror that it would be a mercy to GET rid
of. The reason you give for the existence
Of 90 much unnecessary ugliness is doubt-
less the true one, and I agree with you a.
to its absurdity. There Is just as good
reason, every whit, for making girls wear
at all times and seasons thick wooden
gloves about four sizes too large, instead
Of nice tight gloves.
81 do not for a moment say that girls
may not, in the country, reasonably
wear, as you say, stout. sensible boots;'
but what | do say is that such things are
no more fitted for the dressy promenade
than is the pillow horse for drawing the
smart victoria. In my time
croquet parties were at the full, and short
dresses compelled IN attention to ones
foot gear that is now too much excused.
At that time we invariably perched upon
the tallest of Louis XIV heels; but now,
alas, / find my daughten the only wear

HERE Is the ''hauI" section in the

unlawful for n common carrier, subject
10 the provisions of this act, 10 charge
or receive any greater compensation 10
the aggregate for the transportation Of
passengers or like kind OF property,
under substantially similar circum-
stances and consideration, for a shorter
than a longer distance: but this
shall not be construed q, authorizing
any common carrier within the terms
of this act to charge and receive as
great compensation for shorter as for
longer distances; providing, however,
that upon application to the commits
sion appointed under the provision OF
this act, such common carriers may 10
special cases, after investigation by
the commission, be authorized to
charge less for the longer than for the
shorter distances for transportation OF
passengers and property; and the com

scribe the extent 10 which such desig'

Gov. FORAKER, of Ohio. asked about
the preferences of his state for candi-
dates 10 1888, said: 'Senator John
Sherman is very popular In Ohio, and
/ have no hesitancy In expressing the
belief that he will have the entire del
egation of the state. The people be-
lieve that MI. Sherman has all the re-
quirements To make an able and great
president, and for that reason, coupled
with his past eminent services to the
party, will heartily endorse his candi-
dscy. The Republican party in Ohio
Is thoroughly uailed, and II the Ma
tionAl convention sees fI TO cliuuse a
candidate from any other stat our
support will be given heartily aud
with the enthusiasm aud vim that has
always characterized the Buckeye
state. The impression among US is
that We will win In lSSs, no matter
whom the Democrats put up MS n a u
didate. ] believe that Mr.. Cleveland
will be their candidate, but such is my
faith In the solidity and harmony
within he Republican party that ]
think we can defeat him. The Dem
ocrats 10 Ohio are not so enthusiastic
for Mr.. Cleveland as they were, and
the change is noticeable. The outlook
never was brighter for the Republican
party, and the splits that have oc-
curr d hitherto in some sectious, l
think, will not be repeated again.
There never was n more universal de-
sire 10 go IN aud win. and the wonder
full latent vitality 10 q great party as
great rs the Republican cannot be ex-
hsusted by one defest-s defeat SO

An Austin mother said to her eldest
boy, the other night at the supper
table:
"Why, Frankly, l never knew you
to ask for preserves the second time
Frankly didn't say much, but his
little brother Tommy, who was inno-
cent of the ways of bad boys, spoke
up with a guileless smile on his pure
little face, and said:
That's because Frankly lost the key
he made to open the pantry. That's
why he never used to want much pre-
serves at the supper table. He used
to get all he wanted before supper,
and now he can't open the pantry"
After Franks father had admin
tered the proper corrective and the
stricken youth was left alone in the
shed to repent OF his crime, Tommy
remarked to himself as he sat down
to study his Sunday school lesson:
"Iexpect poor Frankly is sorry he
didn't give me some of them pre-
serves when l asked him for them.
He will know better next time.

Kingman, drygoods commission mer-
chants OF New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, has gone into liqui-
dalton. The firm is one Of the leading
ones in the country, doing a business
of from $12, 100000 to $4,000, 900 a
year and controlling many mills.
William l.. Brown, in ANNOUNCE
ing the trouble, said that his
father, who was the capitalist OF
the concern, had wearied of carrying
it on longer. The stringency in the
money market also had something to
do with the firms troubles. The
firm, he said, was perfectly solvent
and would have a large surplus when
the business was wound up. The
mills in which the firm are interested
are said to be doing well, and have
ample property to take care of their
